Otoplasty (Ear Pinning) Plastic Surgery in Valdosta, South Georgia and North Central Florida
The term otoplasty refers to the reshaping or reforming or “pinning” of the ears. Most commonly, the procedure is performed to correct prominent ears by setting them back closer to the head. Each individual’s ears are different however, and otoplasty may refer to correction of a number of different ear conditions. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman brings her skill, experience and training to performing this procedure for children and adults.
For children, large and/or protruding ears can result in teasing or name-calling which can make adjustment to school difficult, sad or painful and reduce self-confidence as they enter adulthood. Fortunately, this is a problem which can be easily corrected once a child’s ears grow to their full size, usually between five and six years of age.
